Caution: Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic wire, or
equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount and the
hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to
support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake
hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to
the brake hose and in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.

Note: Remove and
discard the brake caliper pin bolts.
